reamp zone mark v- issue addressed

Huge buyers remorse here, but I feel with just how unusable these direct profiles are, and how vastly different they are from the studio profiles, I felt the need to post...

The studio rigs, sound and react fine for what they are... these sound and feel like a mark V should. Namely, the definition is high on these profiles (7-9 range) boosted or unboosted- inline with what you would expect in profiling this amp and similar high gainers.

The directs however, are a completely different story. every one of them is completely unusable through my cabs in my room, or my cabs on my Kemper, including my very best merged cabs from lasse, tonehammer, and a few from other high profile studios not available commercially. Every single profile sounds as if I'm in the neck position with the tone knob rolled off, absolutely no definition, completely unnatural sounding, with weird clicks and nastiness, by far the most unusable set of directs I've ever used. The kick here is, almost every profile has the definition set around 2-4, completely unlike anything you would get out of a mark V. When adding cabs, they are the most distant and boomy unusable profiles I've ever used, even with the brightest cabs I have, it sounds like listening to an amp through a wall. There is definitely something wrong here. I even tried reloading them multiple times to make sure there was no issue.

Sorry for the frank review, but with as much difference between the studio and direct profiles here, and with so many people putting up high quality direct and merged profiles, I felt the need to review and hope others don't fall victim to the buyers remorse I feel as well.

Have not, I'm not sure what difference it would make. I'm not asking for my money back or anything like that, simply stating my review. I find it strange there isn't any reviews about this either. It seems most just don't say anything when they don't like a certain profile pack, and I just don't believe that's fair either. To have nothing but glowing reviews or bad reviews is equally unfair. This isn't a question of using the rigs appropriately, this just just complete desparity between the studio and direct rigs. For what it's worth I have other packs from reamp and haven't had this issue.

I think you find most people don't post negative reviews here so as not to come off as mean. Even some of the worst profiles shared on here I scantly say anything while others compliment them. I don't know if they just work better for their guitars/pickups/tastes or they're just being polite. I offer constructive criticism when I think it's close or feel someone is genuinely seeking it.

But you're right in that there are a lot of profilers out there, even most of the commercial ones I've tried, that I just really, really, really hated.

Sure, and I completely get that. I'm not trying to be "mean", I mean people are trying to run a business here, and quite honestly, with how vastly different These are from the studio to the direct profiles, i feel it's not fair to the consumer to not be heard in a sense. So many people are pumping out profile after profile, I find it in bad taste to let something like this slip through the cracks, it's almost as if these were just done with no thought, not checked, thrown in a package and put up for sale. This isn't an issue about maybe settings being used that I don't care for, there is generally something wrong that I can't fathom how went unnoticed with these profiles. The studio profiles for the most part are fine. To my taste or not is debatable and up for opinion, they sound and behave like any other profile I've tried. The directs are the problem here. You don't have such complete desparity between direct and studio problems to this extreme unless something was done completely wrong.

Yes, studios sound as they should, no issue there. I will reiterrate once again I don't have this issue with other packs of yours, for instance the dumble pack I don't have this issue.

Thanks for the quick help... actually quite honestly if I'm being totally honest, your soundclip you posted sounds about 100 times better still than the direct profiles haha! And I mean that with trying to be funny to show you how bad they sound and to prove something is definitely wrong. But yes, that is very much what I'm experiencing, except they are much much flubbier, much more undefined and far away more "distant" and muffled sounding. I'm glad to see the issue is a simple one to pinpoint, however unfortunately I'm sure it causes a financial burden to fix in one way shape or form.

What I didn't like about the post is that it is posted as a review rather than a potential technical issue; "these sound bad" rather than "there must be something wrong with these".

I guess that's fair judgment, but with how many profiles do sound like absolute garbage and aren't related to technical issues, how am I supposed to know? After all, this is a commercial profiler selling profiles at what is presumed to be a somewhat professional system of sort. Why would I assume someone who is selling profiles, and has had these particular profiles for sale for sometime, and given the fact the studio ones sound fine, hadn't caught this and/or there was some mind of technical issue?

I don't know - why don't you tell me, since you alluded to this very point yourself multiple times?

So now your putting me under the radar here? For what? Because you think I'm "mean" for coming on the third party list and giving my review of profiles that have been on the market for months like im the one that should've caught this? Come on man... I was trying to keep it civil and give the seller the benefit of the doubt here...
